Ferritin as a predictive salivary marker for ECC-III.
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Dental caries is a prevalent disease with a significant impact on children. Saliva, containing various organic and inorganic substances, may serve as a biomarker for identifying dental caries. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate the correlation between salivary ferriti levels and ECC-III in 60 children aged 4-5 years, divided into a caries-free control group and an ECC-III group (≥5 decayed, absent, or filled teeth). Salivary ferritin levels were measured using a diagnostic kit, and statistical analysis showed significantly higher levels in the ECC-III group compared to controls (p < 0.0001). Thus, we show salivary ferritin may serve as a simple, non-invasive biomarker for assessing severity and predicting progression of ECC.
